OCEAN 100 CERTIFICATION EVALUATION
TEST PAPER QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
VERIFIED COMPLETE
●● The best evolutionary adaptation of some deep sea fished to ensure
that their genes get passed down to the next generation is
Answer: The females having a male permanently attached to them (ex:
angler fish, permanently attached so best way for genes to be accessible
and passed down to the next generation)
●● The most abundant sea plants are
Answer: Eukaryotes (3 types of species? )
●● The whale shark, the largest fish on Earth, belongs to the group
called Chondrichthyes
Answer: True
●● Diffusion is a process that fishes undertake, by which
Answer: Oxygen enters from high concentration in the water to low
concentration
●● - Despite the 1986 IWC on commercial whaling, the USA still hunts
whales, which they claim is for "scientific research" purposes.
,Answer: False- Japan only does
●● As you can see from this map, chlorophyll concentrations are very
high along the coast of southern Africa because
Answer: There is vigorous upwelling allowing sea plants to thrive as
winds come from the south (veer off to the left)
●● - The Odontocety have rows of baleen plates that allow them to trap
food in the upper jaw.
Answer: False- mysticeti has rows of baleen plates
●● - A fundamental characteristic of sharks is that .
Answer: they've been around for over 600 million years, they have a
bone skeleton that allows them to be flexible, most shark species are
known to be dangerous to humans, these intelligent and social fishes
evolved from land animals- None of the above is true (why not 600 my?)
●● - Primary productivity is in the polar oceans because .
Answer: High because no thermocline - (water can move vertically)
●● - In terms of plants compare ocean to land: for the most part .
Answer: b. in the ocean we have different plants than lands (Ex: sea
plants like sea weed )
, ●● Photosynthesis: Inputs and Outputs
Answer: d. input : carbon dioxide, output: glucose
●● what was the Thermocline in the oceans again (no peaking..)
Answer: a. a decrease in temperature with depth
●● pelagic just means .
Answer: b. the environment of the open sea
●● polar bear, penguins.. so cute but... marine or land animals....
Answer: Both
●● Whales beach themselves because they want to come back to land
after 50 my
Answer: False why? Ear drums bleed, to die, etc??
●● - Test Question: of all species in the oceans what is the percent living
in the benthic realm?
Answer: E- 90%
●● Test Question: Why are most species here (benthic)?
Answer: Evolution/ natural selection
